Analogy/Comparison
Rescinding the memo is like taking down a fence that was meant to keep your yard safe, but made it too hard for you to get in and out.
Why It Matters
The memo aimed to protect government computer systems from hackers. For example, if a government agency uses software with security holes, hackers could steal sensitive information like people’s social security numbers. Removing the memo means the government needs to find a new way to make sure its software is safe.
